I've done a frugal install of 511 and on first boot it went straight
to the desktop.
I configured the network,then ran the puppy universal installer and
did a frugal install to sda1.
I ran grub4dos,then rebooted and had the save file go to /puppy511 on sda1.
I renamed the fatdog 510 devx file and also increased the size of my
save file by 512mb,then rebooted.

SD card driver for my fellow M350 owners. The card reader is ENE, driver is already in staging in 2.6.36 and will be released on 2.6.37 (this is according to Ubuntu guy who helped to provide the kernel module source).

Booted FATDOG64-511 LiveCD. I opened a text file for edit via the filemanager; namely /root/my-documents/console.log.txt. This opened in Geany. Next, I tried to open a 2nd file using its "absolute path" (namely /mnt/sda1/save-console.log.txt). This is done within the Geany window, clicking File>Open>fill-in location entry with the path-filename.

Code:

Geany generates an error message at bottom of its window as follows: Could not open file /root/my-documents/ /mnt/sda1/save-console.log.txt (No such file or directory)

Also, tested your SAMBA 3.5.6 PET for consistency. Instructions for sharing files with LAN user from FATDOG are still consistent with this release. I have NOT had ANY issues with your SAMBA PET use of FATDOG. You may want to add this to the FATDOG PPM now. (I expect to produce a Guide for users who might want to use FATDOG as their network's domain controller to avoid having to pay vendors thousands of dollars for this feature at the end of this month...All things considered.

Here's what the system looks like with LIveCD running and sharing 3 folders with users constantly writing to it..

Once a while, when shutting down, I get the message "Disabling Interrupt #19" and the laptop will freeze, requiring a hard poweroff (pressing the power button 4 seconds or more). Looking at /proc/interrupts, IRQ 19 corresponds to my UHCI/EHCI usb controller, and true enough, these happens when I have been plugging something to the usb port (wireless mouse, usb harddisk, usb flash, etc) - but not every time. Sometimes it shut down properly.

Google says the problem is caused by spurious interrupts, or unhandled interrupts - can be anything from bad hardware (suggestion is to replace PCI card, move PCI card to another slot, or to disable onboard sound if the IRQ is hooked to onboard sounds etc), or can be because of bad driver. In my case, it's a laptop, so nothing can be moved or replaced, and it works fine with fd64-500 using the previous kernel, so I suspect something is a bit touchy in the USB driver of this kernel. This happens not only on my usual machine, it also happens in the M350 netbook (Atom N450-based).

Has anyone else encountered similar issue, and got any clue to stop this from happening?_________________Fatdog64, Slacko and Puppeee user. Puppy user since 2.13.

Is it documented somewhere which folders will be saved at the end of a session so that they will be restored upon LiveCD reboot?

The official documentation is here http://puppylinux.com/multi-puppy.htm But it's rather old, and rather inaccurate as of now.
Another way is to look at the code - line 204 in /etc/rc.d/functions4puppy says that it will save everything except /tmp, /proc, /sys, /var, /initrd and /mnt.

My question of saving has to do with folders I want to set for LiveCD use that I consider to be "outside of" the delivered Puppy Linux fs. (for example "/Downloads").

Thanks JamesBond. This is a significant contribution, I think, to FATDOG64.

Scenario: Create a /home folder in every folder on the root FATDOG filesytem. Reboot insuring to "Save to CD" the session additions and changes. Upon, reboot look at the resulting filesystem for the /home folders added before reboot.
Results: My personal testing shows: FATDOG LiveDVD reboots will

NOT Save ANY new folder created on root (eg /home)

Save any folder created in /root, /lib, and /usr
